RIP Leonard Cohen and Leon Russell … I don’t care what genre of music you are into, theses artist influenced your favorite singers and songwriters. Most are familiar with the works of Cohen, but if by some chance you aren’t familiar with Russell, do yourself a favor and do a little research; you will thank me for it.
